Full: Unseen interview with roommate of Charlie Kirk murder suspect emerges in court

Описание: The man accused of killing Charlie Kirk told his roommate-turned-lover that “he wishes he hadn’t done it” the day after Kirk was shot in the neck, according to a video interview played in a Utah court Thursday (9 July).

Lance Twiggs, who was defendant Tyler Robinson’s romantic partner and roommate, described the interaction with Robinson during a recorded interview with a prosecutor on April 20.

Defense attorneys had fought against the public release of the statements from Twiggs, saying prosecutors would characterize the statements as a confession, undermining Robinson's right to a fair trial if the statements are broadcast by the media.

Robinson is charged with aggravated murder and has not entered a plea. He turned himself in a day after the fatal shooting of Kirk, a close ally of President Donald Trump credited with helping galvanize young voters for the Republican in the 2024 election.
